I love you and appreciate you Jolaine. I wish you would offer something different than Italian Subs as I would work for your fees plus food if the food was better. The other convenience store shop needs its own questions as they do not have the same items like coffee timers and live deli clerks. Maybe you would not have to work so hard if you mention this to your clients.
